Shapeshifter Showdown

Now that we've wrapped up our analysis on every vote in the canon Total Drama series, it's time to mix it up a little.

This will be something of a crossbreed between Total Drama, The Ridonculous Race, and the Tumblr tournaments that have been so popular recently. Here are the rules:

All 100 contestants from Total Drama and the Ridonculous Race will compete.

Because of this, there will be no submission phase. Instead, there will be a "team building" phase. Click on the form below to submit two to ten characters who you think should be on the same team. You can also submit a team name if you like. Once we've received enough submissions, I will put together the teams based on the information received. Please submit as many teams as you want.

The characters will initially be split into 10 teams with 10 players on each team.

I will call each player by their in game name. That means, for example, Mildred Stacey Andrews O'Halloran will be called Blaineley, and Valentina Escobar will be called MacArthur. While this rule applies to me, you can call the characters any name you want.

We will probably put each pair of Ridonculous Race partners on the same team, as well as Katie and Sadie, Amy and Samey, and Wayne and Raj.

A typical episode will be split into 3 polls, each of which will last a day:

On day 1, a challenge poll will pit all the teams against each other. Vote for the team you want to WIN the challenge.

On day 2, a campfire poll will pit the members of the LOSING team against each other. Vote for the player you want to ELIMINATE.

And on day 3, a final poll will pit the two players with the MOST votes against each other. Vote for the player you want to receive the FINAL MARSHMALLOW.

The player who loses that poll will be eliminated and have their total stats revealed, both for the canon series and for our game. The stats will include how many votes they received vs how many votes they mathematically could have received, how many elimination ceremonies they went to, how many times they won invincibility, and more.

Teams that won the challenge may or may not receive an extra vote or two in the next challenge.

(Obviously, since the polls last 24 hours each, and I need time in between polls to tally the results, and my schedule will not always align with the time the poll expires, each episode will last slightly longer than 3 days.)

Feel free to submit roleplay, propaganda for or against a certain player or team, or virtually anything else you wish.

Language: if it's allowed on the Canadian version of Total Drama, it's allowed here. (For those unfamiliar, they do allow words like crap, frickin, testicles, and suck, but they bleep out other swear words. For example, Lindsay's rant against Heather is entirely bleeped out in the Canadian version, whereas in the American version it is replaced with a load of PG insults.)

I may introduce game elements that happened or were mentioned in the real show, including but not limited to non-elimination / double elimination rounds, tiebreaker polls, returning players, immunity idols, team swaps, merging teams or eliminating an entire team if a certain team becomes too small, etc. Depends on how the game goes.

While I reserve the right to run the tournament however I want, here are the rules on tied polls:

If a challenge poll is tied for last, the tied teams will either battle it out in a tiebreaker poll, or have an elimination ceremony for each, or have a combined elimination ceremony, depending how I'm feeling that day and how many players are left on each team.

If a campfire poll is tied for first or second, the tied campers will all compete for the final marshmallows.

If a final marshmallow poll is tied, it is at my discretion whether to make it a double elimination, non-elimination, or tiebreaker.

With all that out of the way, the team building form is linked below:

Again, please submit as many teams as you want!

Signal boosting all the tournament blogs I know below the cut!

I’m planning on deleting my tournament blogs soon. I’m not really sure how to pass on ownership of blogs but if anyone wants them to run tournaments, I can also do this.

Both fictional characters and real people will be allowed into this tournament

Groups of 2+ will be accepted in as one contestant (ex. Scooby Doo and the gang would be put together to compete as a group)

Despite example given above, no one is guaranteed to get into the tournament

Do not spam submit in the same investigators

SUBMIT HERE

Submissions will stay open for a week (May 25th-June 1st)

Mabel and Dipper from Gravity Falls won last season, coming atop 63 other contestants.

Here, we give those who lost (and those who didn’t make it into the first season) a second fighting chance!

Couple of rules/guidelines:

Fictional characters only

Must be canonical twins, this tournament is also not free from spoilers (ie, if said characters are confirmed to twins later in their story)

Twins will include pairs of 2 and not triplets (or groups above 2)

No Harry Potter characters, and do not submit in Mabel and Dipper from Gravity Falls (they won first season!)

You can submit in multiple different twin pairs, but please do not spam submit in the same ones. However, different twin pairs from the same fandom are allowed to be submitted in just do so in separate submissions.

🌟SUBMISSION FORM🌟

May 24th, at 5pm EST, the final poll will be released.

In one week, we will find out who is the ultimate shapeshifter!

May the best shapeshifter win.
